Seeing Tasha cry Alice breaks down even more.

“You were my wife I still consider you my wife I’ll marry you tomorrow if you asked me to, “Tasha says while tightening her grip on Alice waist. “I would never have left for Italy if you asked me to stay you have so much power over my heart. The shit with Clea Alice I would do it again and again and again because you’ll always be a part of me. Victoria is just someone I work with she is an attractive woman but I’ve never desired her. You’re my dream girl Al you’ve always have been. If you love me even if it’s a little bit please I’m begging you I need to hear you say it my heart needs to hear you say it.”

“Tash, I can’t give you a small corner of my heart.”

Alice words stung Tasha tightening her eyes forced a stream of tears down her face. It was at that moment that she realized everything that she and Alice had was all in the past.

“Just tell me what to do whatever it is I’ll do it, “Tasha says whispering close enough that Alice could feel her breath on her lips. “We have been through so much Alice and I know you don’t need me but I sure as hell need you.”

Seeing the anguish on her face, “I can’t give you a small corner of my heart because you’re worth much more. You have my heart Tasha my entire heart you’ve always had it. I’ve been so scared to open my heart to you for fear that you’d be taken away from me again and I didn’t want to go through that pain again. You leaving for Italy I wanted so badly to tell you to stay but I couldn’t. Ever since you left I’ve been a train wreck. I’m so tired of being scared—–I need you Tash.”

Tasha reaches up with her left hand and begins gently wiping away the tears from her eyes.

“I was taken away from you once and I’ll be damn if it happens again, “Tasha says not able to contain herself any longer leans in and takes her bottom lip into her mouth. The immediate contact sent shockwaves through Alices body. Pulling back Tasha takes her bottom lip sucking it into her mouth again then pulls back.
